Ingredients:

Crust

• 8 Tbsp Butter

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour

• 4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1/4 cup+2 Tbsp pyure(or other granulated sweetener)

• 1 Tsp vanilla

Cheesecake:

• 3 8oz packs full fat cream cheese(room temp)

• 3 large eggs(room temp)

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1 cup confectioners swerve(sweetener I used)

• 3 Tbsp lemon juice

• 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla

Chocolate drizzle:

• 1oz(2 servings) Lily’s dark chocolate baking chips

• 1 Tbsp coconut oil

Caramel sauce for caramel almond layer and caramel drizzle

• 1/2 cup salted butter

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup confectioners swerve

• 1/2 Tbsp vanilla

• 1/4 cup +2 Tbsp Emerald cocoa roast almonds

Directions:

Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and combine all ingredients well and press evenly into 9 inch springform pan. Bake crust for 12 minutes. Place in refrigerator to cool for about 15 min.

Caramel sauce

Melt butter on medium-highly heat stirring frequently until it boils and begins to brown. Once browned remove from heat and very slowly stir in heavy cream, it will boil rapidly so be careful. Once combined mix in swerve and vanilla. Combine half of completed caramel sauce with 1/4 cup + 2Tbsp cocoa almonds and spread evenly over cooled crust. Return to refrigerator. Set aside rest of caramel sauce for topping. It will harden when refrigerated.

Cheesecake

With a hand mixer cream together room temp cream cheese, vanilla, lemon juice, and sweetener for a minute or two, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Mix in eggs 1 at a time until just combined. Add heavy cream and mix just until fully combined. Spread evenly over cooled crust and bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. Top should start to brown but center should still be slightly jiggly. Turn off oven and crack door slightly and allow cheesecake to cool in oven for about 30 minutes(supposed to keep it from cracking). Move to fridge and allow to cool 45min-hour before topping.

Topping

Chop 1/4 cup cocoa roast almonds and sprinkle evenly over top of cheesecake. Next melt together chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave 30 seconds at a time. Once combined use to drizzle over top of the almonds. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce opposite direction of chocolate sauce(you might not need all the caramel). I sprinkled cocoa nibs on top for extra crunch/appearance but you could also just use a few more almonds. Return to fridge and allow to cool at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.

KETO HERB CRACKERS 3-4 crackers = 1 NET CARB This plate is ~12 servings

INGREDIENTS:

-2 cups almond flour (plus a lil extra) -1/3 to 1/2 cup sour cream (full fat) -1 egg -1 tsp pink Himalayan salt + -All and any spices and herbs!

PREHEAT OVEN TO 275

1. Mix the almond flour, sour cream, and egg together. It should combine to make a dough like mixture. Add the salt. If it’s too wet – add more flour // If it’s too dry – add more sour cream – just little by little until it’s the right consistency.

2. Separate the dough into smaller portions (as many portions as you plan flavors)

3. Add your first flavor ingredient to the divided portion – for example: Chopped chives!  Knead with your hands until the chives are distributed throughout the portion of dough.

4. Place on a sheet of parchment paper NOT WAX PAPER, 5. Roll out until it’s about 1/2 inch thin – or whatever thin/thickness you like.

5. Grab a cookie cutter, and cookie cut those crackers!

6. Place on parchment lined baking sheet, sprinkle salt on top (or whatever spice you want), and stab with a fork just so it can breathe while baking.

7. Bake at 275 degrees F for about 10-13 minutes (watch closely because baking depends on the size and thickness of your crackers)

8. Remove and let cool! ENJOY!! I whipped some cream cheese with chives, basil, and parsley and used it as a spread.

Here were my creations: – Sour Cream & Basil

• Sour Cream and Chive – Parsley & Ranch Seasoning

• Umami

• Ground Mustard & Onion Basil or chive was my fav. But, they’re all really really good!

Keto Chocolate Roll Cake One of the things I still remember, though, are those little Swiss Cakes from Little Debbie. Lately, I’ve been thinking about them more and more, wanting to recreate them…but elevate them in flavor and bring them over to the keto world. Instead of making a bunch of snack cakes, I decided to make one large roll that I could slice off and eat as I wanted (and eat, I did).

Chocolate Roll Cake

•1 cup almond flour
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• ¼ cup psyllium husk powder
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ cup almond milk
• ¼ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 ounces cream cheese • 8 tablespoons butter • ¼ cup sour cream • ¼ cup erythritol • ¼ teaspoon liquid Stevia • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Measure out the dry ingredients into a bowl: 1 cup Almond Flour, 1/4 cup Psyllium Husk Powder, 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder, 1/4 cup Erythritol, and 1 tsp. Baking Powder.

2. Melt 4 tbsp. butter in the microwave, then add 1/4 cup sour cream, butter, and 3 eggs to the dry ingredients. Use a hand mixer to mix this together. (I personally saved the hand mixer for the filling and used a whisk to combine the dough ingredients. it worked just fine)

3. Add 4 tbsp almond milk to the batter to make it so that it’s more workable and spreadable.

4. Spread the batter over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or a silpat. It should cover the area of an entire cookie sheet. This takes a little bit of work and you want to make sure there are no holes through which you can see the sheet underneath. I personally put on some food prep gloves and use a combination of my finger and the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.

5. Bake for 14 minutes at 350F.

6. Let cool slightly and start to work on the cream cheese filling.

7. In a bowl, combine 8 oz. Cream Cheese, 8 tbsp. Butter, 1/4 cup Sour Cream, 1/4 cup Erythritol, 1/4 tsp. Liquid Stevia, and 1 tsp. Vanilla. Use a hand mixer to cream together until fully incorporated.

8. Plop the cream cheese filling on top of the cake and spread evenly with a spoon.

9. Roll the cake up gently. Use a knife to scrape off any excess filling to get a clean seam on the edge of the roll.

10. Serve up with a cup of coffee for breakfast, or with some whipped cream for dessert!

I cut it into 12 slices so here are the macros for such:

• 25g fat

• 5.5g protein

a couple of notes!

• when you’re rolling it up, be careful but don’t worry too much. the psyllium husk makes the dough surprisingly malleable while it’s warm. mine started to crack in the dough just a little bit when i started rolling it but as i continued it was perfectly fine.

• stick it in the fridge for several hours before you slice it. DO NOT try slicing it while it’s still warm because the pressure will end up squeezing all the filling out and squishing the roll. don’t ask me how i know 😭

• i used granulated swerve for the dough and powdered for the filling.

• i don’t know how much of an impact/difference it made but i allowed the eggs to reach room temperature (in addition to the butter and cream cheese) before i began.

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Start to Finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fine ground almond flour
• 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee
• 3 tablespoons collagen peptides
• 2 tablespoons granulated non-GMO erythritol or birch xylitol, or more to taste
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon paleo baking powder
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chunks with at least 85% cacao
• 4 slices cooked and cooled pastured bacon, diced finely or crumbled

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, add almond flour, collagen, sweetener, and salt. Mix, and add baking powder to the top.
3. Pour apple cider vinegar on top of the baking powder so it reacts (you’ll see it bubble and fizz).
4. Add butter or ghee, vanilla, and egg, and mix thoroughly. Add chocolate and bacon pieces, and mix once more.
5. Roll the dough into balls and place on the lined baking trays.
6. Press the balls flat into cookie shapes. Press flatter for a crunchier cookie, and leave more rounded for a softer, chewier cookie.
7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
8. Remove trays from oven and gently place cookies on a wire rack to cool.
9. When cooled, store leftover bacon chocolate chip cookies in a covered container.

Note on ingredients: Except for coconut, all nuts are considered “suspect” on the Bulletproof Diet because of their high levels of omega-6 fats that can oxidize and contribute to inflammation.

Use nuts in moderation, or remove them from your diet and reintroduce in small amounts to test your sensitivity.
